Variety spoke with Gal Gadot at the Elle Women in Hollywood Event and this is what she had to say:

“Rob looks amazing,” Gal Gadot told me last night at Elle’s Women in Hollywood event at the Academy Museum when I asked if she had seen the new “The Batman” trailer. “I love his voice and I love the whole tone of everything.

You’re not alone there Gal.

From Mattel Creations:

The Batman is back, and he’s grittier, darker, and more raw than we’ve seen in generations. Our Hot Wheels R/C design team happens to be full of Batman fans who are very excited about the mean muscle car energy emanating from every inch of this new iteration of the iconic Batmobile. Ripped right out of the upcoming movie, this R/C beast is less toy and more detailed movie prop.

STRIKE FEAR INTO GOTHAM CITY’S CRIMINALS WITH THE ULTIMATE EDITION

The Batman strikes dread in the hearts of Gotham City’s criminals—and so does The BATMAN™ The Ultimate Batmobile™ from Hot Wheels. This beyond full-function R/C car is as close to a movie prop as we could get, featuring street-grade suspension, multi-color LED lights, flame FX on both the front and rear, and a water-activated mist effect creating the perfect atmosphere to stage scenes from the film.

BritishGQ believe Rob’s Persol sunglasses seen in the new trailer for The Batman (see above) are worthy of being put in the sunglasses hall of fame. I tend to agree:

Robert Pattinson has a lot of things we want. He’s got the riches (Forbes recently reported he is worth more than $100 million). He’s got a sneaker collection filled with ultrarare designs (in 2020 he revealed exclusively to us that he seeks out and buys all the Adidas x Palace Skateboards collaborative trainers he can find). The elfin thesp is also one of the most handsome actors in the game, with unrivalled scissor-sharp features. 

Now he’s just unveiled something else that we want to add to that list. In the recently aired trailer for Matt Reeves’ upcoming The Batman, in which Pattinson takes the reins from Christian Bale, Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton before him as the title character, the actor is seen in an array of big ’fits spanning several action-packed scenes from the movie. 

In one such scene, which is actually a “blink and you’ll miss it” moment, Pattinson is seen sitting in a café sporting a pair of the chicest black shades we’ve laid our eyes on in any recent film. In fact, we’d go as far as saying they’re some of the best sunglasses we’ve seen since a Ray-Ban-wearing Will Smith graced screens in 1997’s Men In Black or, indeed, Keanu Reeves made the case for minimalist metal sunglasses in The Matrix.

Ideal for masking bleary eyes or else simply adding a slick edge to any autumn ’fit, we naturally felt the need to do some digging and have found out that the sunnies in question are actually one of Persol’s recent drops. 

The razor-sharp rectangular shades come with metallic detailing on the arms and are cut from sturdy black acetate in Italy.

If you want to check out Persol sunglasses head over to persol.com *website currently being upgraded* but Aussies can check them out at Sunglass Hut. Hmm one can never have too many sunnies.

If you’re like me and spent most of the time watching the trailer just focusing on Rob, then this video by New Rockstars may interest you. They give a great breakdown and background to the Batman world, since unlike Rob I haven’t read a tonne of Batman comics as homework. They also point out some interesting clues in the clip.

It appears that Rob and The Batman now have a TV Spot thanks to Warner Bros.

And unsurprisingly, the trailer hit over 31 million views in the first 24 hours – thanks Film Updates!

Holy …. Moly

Rob quote from panel:

He doesn’t have as much control over his personality. The delineation between when he’s Batman and when he’s Bruce [Wayne] is not so clear. In other iterations, he really knows what he’s doing when he’s putting on the cowl – but I really liked this idea of [him being] a little bit out of control. He hasn’t completely defined what Batman is. He gets lost in it, whenever he’s putting it on every night. He’s not sleeping, and he’s becoming this odd creature.
